Hiya Sabrina,
Welcome to planDisney! I love that you are going to be supporting your daughter’s friend during the DII National School Spirit Championships. I have such fond memories supporting collegiate dancers at their national competition a few years back. There was so much energy at
ESPN Wide World of Sports, and it was incredible to see all these outstanding athletes showcase their hard work in front of family and friends.
While some ESPN Wide World of Sports tournaments and events are included with the cost of a park hopper plus ticket, unfortunately, not every event is included. I took a look at the
events page for ESPN Wide World of Sports, and the National School Spirit Championships is listed as a separately ticketed event, which means you will need to purchase a separate spectator ticket for you and your daughter to cheer on your friend. You can purchase tickets in advance through the event webpage (select Learn More on the page and scroll until you see “DII Spectator Registration.”
I hope this was helpful, Sabrina. Before I let you go, I noticed you said you are going to purchase
military tickets. First, as the daughter of two veterans, I would like to thank you and your family for your service. I also wanted to remind you that if you plan to purchase these tickets for anyone without a valid military ID, you will need to accompany them to the theme park to activate the tickets and scan them into the park during the first use. After that, they will be able to use the tickets without you being present. Wishing your daughter’s friend all the pixie dust and best wishes for a successful competition. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
